Yesterday, at
Wrexham, the eighth annual match under Association rules between
England and Wales was played in fine weather and with the turf in
fairly good order. Both sides showed good combination...

So well did they play that shortly before half-time was announced
Lewis registered a goal for them. After ends had been changed, England
severely pressed their opponents, and from a free kick near the Welsh
posts Amos scored, the ball going through off the defending
goalkeeper...- The Times – Tuesday 30th
